A Prayer For Dark Times

 

Today's verse is Habakkuk 3:2

    O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid:

    O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years,

    In the midst of the years make known;

    In wrath remember mercy.

    Let this also be your prayer today! Where are those that would say, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid. Too often we hear of the Love of God, forgetting even that God, the Holy Father, chastens those that he loves. Truly, hearing God voice, being in his presence is a fearful thing, but even after God strengthens us in that fear, forget it not. Did not Paul testify: Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men. Therefore, if your eyes are open, and you see not only the need of God’s judgment upon the world of men, but also that judgment has already begun, so as we have seen here Habakkuk’s prayer, let us also pray: In wrath remember mercy. Amen.

To God be the Glory

Scott
